The Israeli army demolished a house and a car showroom in the West Bank, as attacks targeting Palestinian property continue to escalate in the occupied territory.

Anti-settlement activist Iyad Masharqa told Anadolu that Israeli forces raided the al-Qasr neighbourhood in the village of al-Hijra, southeast of Dura in Hebron, and demolished a house covering an area of about 200 square meters.

Boston Consulting Group (BCG), a US consultancy linked to President Donald Trump's proposals for Gaza, has been hired to advise on the UK government's 10-year strategy, local media reported.

The Times reported that the firm had been brought in to help develop the long-term plan, which could be scaled back from its original ambitions and delayed until the new year rather than unveiled in December.

The consultancy was also involved in establishing the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), an Israel- and US-backed aid organization accused of facilitating attacks on Palestinians seeking food.

Israeli authorities have issued a tender for the construction of 732 units in the Gvaot settlement west of Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, a Palestinian government body said.

The Colonisation and Wall Resistance Commission said in a statement that Israeli authorities published the tender Sunday as part of the first phase of a project to expand illegal settlements in the Bethlehem governorate.

The tender includes the construction of multistory residential buildings, commercial facilities and public institutions, the commission said, citing the Israel Land Authority’s official records.

Around 2.1 million people in Gaza need protection and humanitarian assistance during winter amid continued displacement, deteriorating living conditions and Israeli restrictions on relief supplies, a Palestinian minister said.

Social Development Minister Samah Hamad made the remarks during a news conference at the Government Communication Center in Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank.

Hamad said approximately 30 percent of relief and shelter supplies remain stranded at border crossings due to Israeli measures, preventing their delivery to Gaza.

Syrian foreign minister says Damascus has no immediate plans to send forces to Yemen, reaffirming support for the internationally recognised government.

The EU urged Israel to ensure full humanitarian access to Gaza, warning that heavy flooding and worsening winter conditions were deepening the humanitarian crisis in the enclave.

"We are aware of the situation in Gaza, and obviously, if you live in the tent and the tent is full of water, the situation gets much more worse," European Commission spokesperson Eva Hrncirova told reporters during a midday briefing in Brussels.

She said the EU had repeatedly called on the Israeli government, at every level and opportunity, to allow full humanitarian access to the territory.

"Not all the crossings are open for humanitarian aid," she said, stressing that restrictions were worsening an already critical situation.

Israeli forces opened fire on several journalists documenting Israeli violations in Syria's southern Quneitra province, Syrian media reported.

Oil prices fell sharply on hopes for diplomatic talks aimed at ending the US-Iran war, with the main international contract, Brent North Sea crude, shedding more than five percent.

Brent dropped as low as $93.32 a barrel, while the main US contract, West Texas Intermediate, retreated 4.5 percent to $86.75 a barrel.

Saudi Arabia's civil defence authorities said danger had passed in the capital Riyadh, minutes after raising an alert, a day after an attack by Houthi militia damaged an office building of oil giant Aramco in the city.

On Sunday, debris from an attempted attack blew out windows across several floors of Aramco Tower in Riyadh's financial district.

The Saudi energy ministry said the damage was limited and there were no casualties, while the Saudi-led coalition said it had intercepted Houthi militia missiles over the capital.
